FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for Atlético Madrid Manager Diego Simeone in the match between Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid and this have cost him his Job after after Rage baiting Vini Jr on the pitch
Real Madrid’s number 7 and Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid manager, became embroiled in a heated touchline confrontation that resulted in both receiving yellow cards.
The most striking moment came when the Argentine coach deliberately provoked the Brazilian winger, an exchange captured by Spanish media outlets.
Initially, Simeone cupped his hand to his right ear and gestured toward Vini, seemingly encouraging him to acknowledge the jeers raining down from the stands as he was substituted for Arda Güler.
Vini responded to the gesture, which prompted “Cholo’s” cutting retort:
“Florentino (Real Madrid’s president) is going to get rid of you, mark my words.”
Following the final whistle, Xabi Alonso, the Merengue head coach, publicly defended his player. His protective stance had already been evident during the initial altercation:
“I overheard what Simeone said to Vini and I found it completely unacceptable. That kind of language is inappropriate—there are certain boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed.”
Vini’s current deal with Real Madrid runs through June 2027, though a contract extension appears unlikely at this juncture.
The prevailing expectation is that the club will look to negotiate the sale of their number 7 when the current campaign concludes.
His market valuation stands at 150 million euros according to the transfer valuation website Transfermarkt.
The Brazilian forward has endured a concerning drought, going 16 consecutive matches without finding the back of the net.
Across 26 appearances this season, he’s managed just six goals.
He’ll be back in action on Sunday (11th), when Real Madrid face Barcelona in the Super Cup final.
